The first volume in J.R.R. Tolkien's epic adventure The Lord of the RingsOne Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind themIn ancient times the Rings of Power were crafted by the Elven-smiths, and Sauron, the Dark Lord, forged the One Ring, filling it with his own power so that he could rule all others. But the One Ring was taken from him, and though he sought it throughout Middle-earth, it remained lost to him. After many ages it fell into the hands of Bilbo Baggins, as told in The Hobbit. In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as his elderly cousin Bilbo entrusts the Ring to his care. Frodo must leave his home and make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ring and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose.“A unique, wholly realized other world, evoked from deep in the well of Time, massively detailed, absorbingly entertaining, profound in meaning.” – New York TimesJ.R.R. TOLKIEN (1892–1973) is the creator of Middle-earth and author of such classic and extraordinary works of fiction as The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion. His books have been translated into more than fifty languages and have sold many millions of copies worldwide.www.lordoftheringstrilogy.com

Brilliant linguist and incredible mind... But... So, I finally decided to read this book. I love the movie, and I love the story and fantasy and science fiction as a whole... But Tolkien's writing is not my cup of tea. He is a brilliant linguist, and the story and world he has come up with in this book is amazing, but his writing is not engaging at all. He will spend pages and pages discussing the landscape and geography, or the minute details of a character that is only present for a few moments in the story... But then gloss over major events in the story in a couple of sentences. He'll write for a long time about songs being sung (sometimes in his made up languages), but barely develop some of the main characters.There are things I thought the movie didn't do justice, of course... But overall, the movie was so much more entertaining and well-written than the book.I'm really only giving it even 2 stars because I had the movie to frame the story before reading it. Without that, I feel I would have lost interest very early in in this book.Again...I don't want to take away from the brilliance of Tolkien himself and the world he created... He just couldn't convey it in an engaging way to me.Believe It Or Not(What Took Me So Long) I have a friend who's been trying to get me to read this series, and I have resisted her suggestion quite strongly, as I had already seen the movies, and was worried that they would spoil the books for me, nor did I think that I would like the series, although, I had seen the movies, and thought them very well done, I didn't think the book series was for me, as I am very picky, especially when it comes to fantasy. But I was completely blown away by this first book in the series, there's some great world building, and and it doesn't take much to come invested in the story, to come to root and care for and about the characters. Now, I'm only wondering why it took me so long to read this. Well worth the read, one I'd highly recommend, now I can't wait to see what happens next.A doubtless masterpiece Read this book for the first time ever in its original language and form (the foreword states it's the go-to edition) and I was disappointed exactly zero times. You see, even Martin can (and does) get tedious every now and then. Not Tolkien. Carefully crafted writing, vivid imagery, relatable characters. Yes, they aren't that multilayered as those in the ASOIAF, but they sure ain't as black and white either, as some would make you believe. Take Gollum, Boromir, even Bilbo, for instance. We see their internal struggle many a time.The pacing is spot on and you hardly want to skim through anything, because every detail counts and ultimately adds to an exquisite bigger picture. I loved every single description of the nature: every sunset and sunrise, every gray morning and starry night, every moor and craggy peak. They are presented in such a way as to help you see them with your own heart I can't wait to read on, to you have a look at The Two Towers and The Return Of The King afterwards, because this is where the power of the English language, the notion of doing the right thing, the turf war on the global scale are at their best and simply unrivalled.I wish the movies - however great they are and however good Peter Jackson as a director is - did the books justice and let's hope we'll live to see that day when there is a movie or a series (even better) worthy of the master's writing and vision.For now though, I'll contend myself with coming back to this masterpiece, telling about it to anyone who'd listen and reading it aloud to my kids and having the faintest hope... of seeing the lady Galadriel in real life one day.
